I know some of you already know this, but for those that don't, I advise you to go over this bridge slow. It's an accident wafting to happen. Some of the boards are barely hanging on and slap upwards because the fasteners no longer do the job of holding them down. One board is almost weathered...

Cool area. It's always nice to have your own little place to sit under the trees in the pines with your chair with some ice and wine.

And the wallet is fine with that too!

That really looks like a healthy, fat snake Guy. It's not just the close up making it appear that way? I always thought they were fairly slim snakes.

That's some tough walking north of that stream. You betcha'.

The article also indicates over population of deer in the pine barrens. Is that true? If humans suddenly disappeared, like from a virus or something, would deer eat all the cedars and cause mass extinction?

Hmmm. From the article: "The overpopulation of white-tailed deer, occurrence of severe wildfires, land conversion for human uses, selective tree harvesting, and human induced changes in plant and forest communities have been the leading factors in this decline. Are deer a great killer of...

I love the form of that car, the stance. What year is is?

Good article. Very good. This paragraph struck me the most. Every parent's worse nightmare: Losing a family member to the unknown is one of the worst psychological traumas a human can endure, says Pauline Boss, a researcher and family therapist. She coined the term “frozen grief” for this...

Jon, I just want to ask, you were not responding to Guy's comment (a little old maybe), were you? He was just saying the article's a little old. I can't help asking.

Thrilling, eh? A Porsche?

What's this about a sports car? Do tell.

I read it twice, and I still can't make sense of it. I propose that's what usually happens when there was some obfuscation of the facts during the project & permit process.

Guy, would you mind throwing up a link to a topo showing where you were? I can't place it in my mind. West of 206?

I'll fix their statement for them: We sincerely appreciate the public's patience and understanding as we worked to manage one of the most challenging summer seasons for the State Park Service EVER!

I'm pretty sure that's a gray tree frog. But I'm not a herper. Others may know.

Speaking of stones Guy, I was botanizing near Cedar Bridge Tavern Saturday, and found a rather large, flat stone behind the property. I have doubts as to it's use as a marker, but I just don't know. I don't know who owns the property. When I was there, I assumed it was part of the Cedar Bridge...

I was born in the capital of East Jersey, and have lived the better part of my life in East Jersey. My daughter would rather I move to West Jersey, but I've demurred. :)

Yes, for a short time. From Wiki: "West Jersey and East Jersey were two distinct parts of the Province of New Jersey. The political division existed for 28 years, between 1674 and 1702. Determination of an exact location for a border between West Jersey and East Jersey was often a matter of...

Guy, you know about this area, correct? They have orange tape there that seems more recent than 2016. I'm surprised they even did this. Do you think they needed to do it for some reason?
